Equipment

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces halibut fillets 4 fillets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoons pepper
  • pinch cayenne optional

Salsa

  • 1 pint strawberries
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 teaspoons diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon diced jalapeno
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ teaspoons salt

Instructions

Make the Strawberry Salsa

  • Hull and slice the strawberries and set in a bowl. Stir in the red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime, and salt. Cover and set in the fridge until you're just about ready to eat.
  • Just before serving, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and dice. This keep the avocado from browning while you cook everything else. Stir the avocado into the strawberry mixture and season to taste if necessary.

Grill the Fish

  • Preheat your grill to medium, about 400°F (200°C). Pat dry the fish with a paper towel, then drizzle each fillet with oil and seasonings, turning to coat. 
  • Grill skin-side-down over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until flakey and cooked through. Don't force-flip the fish until it easily releases from the grill.
    Before serving, top with strawberry salsa.

Notes

For best results, use thicker fillets. Halibut is delicate. Thicker cuts (at least 1 inch) hold up better on the grill.
Oil the grates. Lightly oil the grill or brush the fish with oil to create a non-stick surface. This will help prevent the fish from breaking. 
Allow the fish to rest for a couple of minutes before serving to retain moisture.
